During its first plenary session after the end of the emergency rule, Rivers State House of Assembly, chaired by Speaker Martin Amaewhule, had revealed its intention to probe the state’s expenditure during Ibas’ administration.
“To explore the process of knowing what transpired during the emergency rule with regard to spending from the consolidated revenue fund for the award of contracts and other expenditure,” part of the resolutions of the House reads.
The decision to probe the state’s expenditure over the last few months under him was rejected by Ibas.
